As a little girl, I always wanted a pony for Christmas. Santa never brought me a pony. So in my late 40s, I started taking horseback riding lessons. When I turned 50, I got my first horse, an Icelandic named Blessi (Veigar frá Búðardal). Little did I know how much fun life with an Icelandic was going to be. Blessi has a unique perspective on life. I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoy Blessi. And you will probably read about my cats from time to time.

Blessi as Rod Stewart

Blessi has a new pasture neighbor. Otto is a 2-year old paint stallion who is very friendly but likes to do some hair dressing on the side. Here is Otto's attempt to make Blessi look like Rod Stewart circa early 1980s. Can you sing "Maggie May?"

You may also notice Blessi has some discharge from his eye. He is under a vet's care for an irritated eye. Believe me this looks so much better than it did two weeks ago.
